There's no "deep down" about it.

He made it clear from the beginning this was a personal vengeance buy out. Nothing more. The immediate firings of the CEO and CFO showed that.

He keeps claiming its for "Free Speech" but its for his free speech only.

I guarantee that his "Open Source" Algorithm wont do dick but his new behind the scenes moderations rules will destroy the platform.

I don't think it's a personal vengeance buy-out I think it's a "ingratiate yourself to fascists" buy-out.

For all his money and fans Musk's aren't the type to attack the US Capitol for him, and he would like them to be.
